The moon is not from this solar system. #WCFTSATFM

Large comets impacting the early moon could have resulted in volcanic eruptions. One would expect molten rock not far from the surface of the recently formed moon from the heat of bombardment still trapped under the crust. Such comet-induced magma flows would likely contain a considerable amount of water from the impactors. Earth's oceans are believed to have been delivered by comets, so water from comets in early lunar volcanic flows would not mean there is water trapped in the moon' interior. If the moon did form from a collision with another body and the proto-earth, it is reasonable to assume that any water that was ejected into orbit around the earth would have been dispersed by solar radiation during the slow stage of lunar formation. Hopefully time will tell, but to be sure, these are ancient deposits if they are lava flows, and therefore could have been formed during what should have been a considerable bombardment by comets in the early period of lunar formation.

Origin of sample has question mark. space agencies do not know evolution or internal structure. there are water on the moon. nothing to do with comets. moon had major and long volcanic eruption. it became tidally lock to Earth. surface water exposed were lost. surface water in shad froze. beneath the surface in cold area remained frozen, but in exposed area they escaped. Currently some of frozen water evaporate producing mist in some of craters before freezing again. Moon has evolving and mobile M field. magnetic re-connections producing space lightening in full rang of frequency and energy. it has been seen by cameras, the Same on Mars. When NASA get serious they need to understand the known information so they can explore the unknown. Full detail in my 1975 Bremen summerhouse notes or on official request only. MG1

Water found in current study likely trapped in "volcanic glass beads". This water would persist today as hydrate of silicates or even as "free" water inside beads. Solar radiation not capable of evaporating this water since it is locked inside of beads. Structure of beads would have to be destroyed to liberate this water. Also, appears that the highest density of this water (colored areas) is localized in discreet areas of the volcanic flood plains, further suggesting formation close to eruptions (i.e. not spread out over the flood plains), again possibly due to comet impactors.

Current free water in dark craters is believed from comets that impacted at various later times - a trace of the ejecta from these impacts settling in dark craters. These small craters (which have steep walls so not old) had to be there before water was deposited. Likely this water is from much later period than water found in current study, which was when volcanism was still active - i.e. very ancient.

my presumption is water readily dissolves into magma and leaches from molten lava much more slowly than the time frame of the impact event of the moon's formation. so water in earth's magma would survive the moon's formation

Water in magma at depth would remain if sufficient pressure prevents out-gassing. As hydrated magma reaches surface, decreasing pressure would result in explosive out-gassing. Extent of water depletion of the surface layers would depend on mixing, duration of high temperatures, etc. Content of water at surface of the melt would drop rapidly. One would expect top layer of magma flowing onto a surface in a vacuum to lose most of its water due to out-gassing so long as the temp. was high enough. Once the magma cooled, any water trapped below would remain until sufficient heat and low pressure allowed for escape. Magma blown into space would solidify and carry most of any trapped water with it to formation of the moon. Out-gassing of water from this magma proceeds as above. Looking at magma flood plains, pockets of "hydrated" volcanic glass (above image) - have highest water content. These areas provide the strongest "water signal" over the local flooding. Why is the big question.

Well, had the Americans not abandoned the space programs for global warming "studies," killed Apollo and the Shuttle (with no replacements) they wouldn't now have to go begging, hat-in-hand to the Russians to launch them to the worthless $200 billion ISS. They'd have a BASE on the moon by now and could research this stuff a lot more effectively.

"Lex Talonis" wouldn't be an alias of Kilgore Trout by any chance, would it?!
